Ode to Anna Pottery
Ode to Anna Pottery
This Pig sculpture is hand carved bass wood and is also painted by hand in sienna paint with buttermilk writing and black highlights. In the late 1800's a pottery business called Anna Pottery created pig flasks and scored maps of the local rail roads onto them, showing the stops along the way. They have become highly prized collector's items and folk art wonders.
I carved this pig in the same shape as those from the past and painted a map of the rail roads in and around Lebanon, PA with their city stop locations. It includes the Lebanon Railroad, Cornwall Railroad, Philadelphia and Reading Railroad, and the P and R. Railroad. It is signed and dated and is labeled on the base "Ode to Anna Pottery".
